Holding on: Hellickson is winless in his last four starts and has struggled to hold a lead. He is 6-3 with a 2.70 ERA in 13 career appearances (12 starts) against Baltimore.

Familiar face: Hammel, a former Ray, has won three of his past four but allowed six runs in four innings in a no-decision against the Twins his last time out. He is 1-0 with a 3.72 ERA in two career starts against Tampa Bay.

The Rays camo-themed road trip to Baltimore was right "up the alley" for DH Luke Scott, an avid hunter, who brought a rifle bag along. "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to bring my props," he said, smiling. But Scott joked INF Ryan Roberts' tattoo-covered body makes him a natural. "Technically, he can just take off his shirt and he'd be camouflaged enough," Scott said. " 'Tatman' is his own camouflage, so to speak. He's camo full-time."

Saying farewell

Manager Joe Maddon, a fan of The Office, was sad to see NBC's long-running comedy reach its series finale Thursday night, but he admitted it has never been the same since the exit of Steve Carell, who played main character Michael Scott. "It would be like Cheers without Ted Danson," Maddon said. "Like Curb Your Enthusiasm without Larry David; how could that ever work?"
